Programming was deeply satisfying work to me. Work for hours/days before getting the payoff of the code working well on your machine. I’m feeling so much friction now to open the editor and do this kind of task by hand, but also increasingly depressed with the nature of work in an AI assisted dev workflow. Back and forth prompting seems to eat at my soul. Need to find a balance that brings back some of the toil.

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here

I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream.

I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter."

How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it.

Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it.

I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder.

I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it.

You all are fired,

This is false, but it might be a good thing if belief in it became moderately widespread, because then all the remaining programmers would be in it for love and not just for money.

@MrMooky This one is particularly desperate 😳

@zebassembly @eastdakota @Cloudflare OMG yes!

@pvukovic Agree. I only use it for unimportant stuff. I'd love to switch everything over to Hetzner, but I have around 2 billion requests/month (with some big traffic spikes now and then). I'm just concerned their automatic systems might get triggered and shut down my account.

Mhmmm, Stripe is not famous for their world-class support in these situations (they're even worse actually). So my guess is LS under Stripe will not improve customer support.

Disclaimer: I've been with Paddle for 8 years, never lost money with them, and they always answer in < 12 hours

@ste_bau @bennett_us lol same here

@neverything I always praise „less is more“

first add only the really most important metrics

when users ask repeatedly about specific metrics, i add them
